Rejoice, the Lord Is Nigh!

The theme for the third Sunday of Advent is Joy! Joy is a difficult word to capture most of the year, but during Advent we all share those great feelings of anticipation and expectation. Our second lesson on the third Sunday encourages our joy.

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.
— Philippians 4:4-7

It is appropriate that Bishop Beisner designated this day, the third Sunday of Advent, as Episcopal Community Services Advent appeal. Episcopal Community Services, ECS, has supported the work of ministering to the sick, the homeless, the hungry and poor in the Diocese of Northern California for over 30 years.

We hope that you will experience great joy this Christmas season and will share it generously, giving so that ECS can continue the work of Serving Christ by Serving Others in the coming year.

Please place your gift in the offering plate marked for ECS or mail it to:
